A major upgrade to compact undulators will make the quality of the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source's X-rays competitive with the world’s best synchrotron light sources.
Using instruments aboard the Cassini spacecraft to measure the wobbles of Mimas, a Cornell astronomer has inferred that this moon’s icy surface cloaks either a rocky core or a sloshing sub-surface ocean.
Two dozen high school science teachers from across the state and beyond attended the Xraise Science Teacher Workshop, hosted at the eXploration station behind Wilson Synchrotron Laboratory.

Eric Betzig, M.S. ’85, Ph.D. ’88, and William Moerner, M.S. ’78, Ph.D. ’82, have shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry for groundbreaking achievements in optical microscopy.
A collaboration between Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source and materials scientists has yielded greater understanding of what particular nanocrystals look like individually, and how they fit together as they form larger structures called supercrystals.
Chris Xu, professor of applied and engineering physics, joined other academics and industry leaders at the White House Sept. 30 for a conference celebrating progress on the BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) Initiative.
Jerrold Meinwald, the Goldwin Smith Professor of Chemistry Emeritus, has received the National Medal of Science in chemistry, the nation's highest honor for scientists and engineers. Entomologist May Berenbaum, Ph.D. '80, also received the National Medal of Science.
